Sanford, FL. (PRWEB) April 08, 2016

Hernon Manufacturing was pleased to host Governor Rick Scott who attended the ribbon cutting ceremony at the Central Florida manufacturer's facility expansion on Tuesday. Hernon Manufacturing increased their sales by 100 percent over the last three years and broke ground on their facility expansion in March of 2015. Governor Scott announced the creation of 20 new manufacturing jobs due to the expansion, increasing Hernon's workforce by almost 50 percent.

Harry Arnon, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hernon Manufacturing said, "Governor Scott's focus on permanently eliminating the sales tax on manufacturing equipment gives Hernon the ability to hire more employees and shows that he cares that every Floridian is able to get a job and succeed in Florida. We're happy that he is here with us today and look forward to hiring more employees at Hernon."

Hernon's exports, which have grown from 23 countries four years ago to 50 countries today, are expected to continue to rise as the expanded facility becomes fully operational granting greater manufacturing capacity and improving economies of scale. "Our ability to offer the customer both adhesives, sealants and coatings as well as the dispensing equipment required to apply those products eliminates the "blame game" that can occur between different suppliers," said Edgardo Rodriguez, Sales and Marketing Director for Hernon Manufacturing. "This Total Solutions approach is what drives Hernon's success. Our customer's know that we don't just sell products, we sell solutions."
